4. Technical Presentation

Abdallah Rababah	Title : High Order Approximation Methods Abstract: In this talk, the following conjecture will be illustrated: Conjecture: A smooth regular curve in R� can be approximated by a polynomial curve of degree <= m with order 2m. This Conjecture generalizes the Taylor theorem and achieves the accuracy of 2m for planar curves (rather than m+1). Examples and figures are presented to show the efficiency of these methods.
